What Are the ‘Bill and Ted’ Movies About?
In 1989’sBill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, teenage slackers and would-be musicians Bill S. Preston, Esq. (Alex Winter) and Ted “Theodore” Logan (Keanu Reeves) discover that the music of their band, Wyld Stallyns, has somehow led to a utopian future - a future that is in danger of not happening if they flunk their history project. Thus, their guide to the future, Rufus (George Carlin) equips them with a time-travelling phone booth that allows them to recruit a bevy of historical figures to pass the class and avoid disaster. The second film, 1991’sBill and Ted’s Bogus Journey, sees Chuck De Nomolos (Joss Ackland), a renegade resident of the future, attempt to assassinate the duo in the past with a pair of evil robots. Bill and Ted subsequently match wits with Death (William Sadler) and journey through Heaven and Hell to stop De Nomolos. The belated 2020 threequel,Bill and Ted Face the Music, features Bill and Ted approaching middle age, having failed to unite humanity through song. They’ll need some help from Rufus' daughter Kelly (Kristen Schaal) and their own offspring, Thea and Billie (Samara WeavingandBrigette Lundy-Paine) to set history back on course.
Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventurewas a hit upon its release, making $40 million on a $10 million budget, and spawned a number of spinoffs, including a live-action TV series and a Saturday-morning cartoon. The films also inspired a popular comic book series by writer/artistEvan Dorkin.
